I created two mixed media cards for the 7 Dots Studio blog using the Homegrown and Fortune Teller collections. I have a video tutorial on how I created these cards.

Here is the video:

I really love the chipboard pieces from the Fortune teller collection and I really wanted to use them on a project. The dreamcatcher is so beautiful and the sun and moon are celestial. Therefore, I really wanted to create a celestial feel to the cards so I used shimmery embossing powder and fine glitter.

This is my third layout this month for the Blue Fern Studios Blog and I used the Regalia paper from the Seaside Cottage Collection.

I loved creating texture behind my photo by using cheese cloth which I glued with soft gel. I also used Blue Fern Studios blooms and shells like in my other layouts

To mat the photo I used a couple of pieces from the calling cards paper. I also used the "Seaside Charms" and "The end of a perfect day" title to embellish the layout. I embossed them with the Sea Mist embossing powder.

Here is my second layout for this month's post on the Blue Fern Studios Blog. I used the Voyage paper from the Seaside Cottage collection.

I actually cut the background paper in half and connected the two edges in the middle so the sail boat would be in the center. Then I used some paste and stencils to create some wave like pattern to cover the seam.

I used the large Blue Fern Flourish chipboard to give the photo some wave-like movement. I embossed the flourish with Sea Mist embossing powder.

As a title I used part of the calling cards paper and then added some Seaside Lilies, roses and other Blue Fern Studios blooms. I also added shells of course.

Here is the first one. The other ones will be posted on my blog within the next few days!!

I used the Embark paper from the Seaside Cottage collection for the background. I stencilled it with a "fish scale" looking pattern with a FabScraps stencil. Then I sprayed it with blue ink.

The Seaside Frame and Flourish were embossed with Blue Fern Studios Oatmeal embossing powder. Then I gave it some blue touch-ups. The calm title was painted in blue and then covered in clear glittery stickles.

Finally, I added Blue Fern Studios flowers and some seashells I collected during one of my trips.

I created this 6x12" mixed media canvas for the 7 Dots Studio blog using their Homegrown collection.

I gave this canvas as a teacher's gift for my daughter's teacher.

Although its hard to tell, I used the Homegrown-Attic paper for the background. The paper has poppies and red splatters. The poppies were painted in red acrylic paint to match the other poppies on the canvas. However I left the red splatters intact, and although they look like real paint splatters they are actually part of the page. You can see the red splatters in the background below.

The large poppies were created using light modelling paste. Once dry I painted them in red and added black and white accents. The small poppies and stems were created using the UmWowStudio poppy pod stencil. I dragged the stencil down the to create the longer stems.

Hi, I'm KerenI’m a wife to a wonderful husband and a mother to two amazing kids. I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years and I'm very passionate about it. Over the past couple of years, I've diverted myself into the mixed media world and I love combining them both together.

I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques. My style is always evolving and that's one of the things I love about this art. I hope you enjoy the layouts I create!!
